A very nice Civil War Token. The obverse features Lady Liberty with a cap and a date of 1863 at 6 o’clock. She is surrounded by 13 stars representing the 13 original colonies. The reverse has “IN REMEMBRANCE” From 9 to 3 o’clock. In the center is “OF THE WAR OF” with “1861 ‘62 ‘63” centered over the 6 o’clock position running from 8 to 4 o’clock. You gotta love any of the Civil War Tokens.
I believe that is one of the better ones...as far as rarer ...ones. I wish I had a reference for them...something to add to the list of needs...
I just love Civil War Tokens! I always dreamed of finding one Metal Detecting, is that out of reach of realm of possibility??
You need to search aaround old building sites...know stores ,taverns.etc...in an open field I say lesser chance to find a dropped token...
